Chapter 7: The Female Lead Is Quite Skilled at Taking Sides

"Miss Xixi has a mild concussion, but it is not a major issue. The multiple abrasions on her body have also been cleaned, disinfected, and bandaged. Do not perform any strenuous movements for the next few days. If you feel any discomfort in your body, go to the hospital for another check-up."

After the Luo Family's family doctor finished examining Luo Xixi's injuries, he gave these instructions to the Luo family.

Afterwards.

He looked at Luo Shiqing again and said to the Luo parents, "As for Miss Shiqing, I have also examined her. She has no issues; just putting a bandage on the wound on her forehead will be fine."

"Alright, thank you, Li Yisheng."

Luo Zhennian thanked Li Yisheng.

"You're welcome."

After Li Yisheng left, the group from the Luo family surrounded Luo Xixi, who was sitting on the sofa.

"Xixi, are you feeling dizzy now? Do you want to go to the hospital again to get checked out?"

Bai Fengxia fussed over Luo Xixi by her side, the worry in her eyes nearly overflowing.

"I think we should still go to the hospital, Xixi. Don't be stubborn. What if something goes wrong with your body?"

Luo Zhennian also suggested from the side.

Luo Xixi shook her head and said, "I'm really fine, Mom and Dad. Didn't Li Yisheng say so too? My injuries aren't a big problem. If I really feel unwell, I will tell you. (⊙v⊙)"

The Baby System had also secretly performed a full-body scan on Luo Xixi.

It was very surprised to discover that Luo Xixi really hadn't sustained any serious injuries. Logically, falling from such a height, it would be impossible not to have a fracture. Yet, its Host seemed to know how to protect her vital points; apart from some minor abrasions, only her forehead looked truly miserable.

And after it checked the surveillance footage, it discovered that the wound on her forehead was something the Host had intentionally slammed against the corner of the ladder herself, which was what made the injury look so severe.

Luo Xinian, standing to the side, looked at Luo Xixi, whose head was wrapped in gauze like a rice dumpling. His eyes flickered, as if he were struggling internally, but in the end, he still walked toward Luo Shiqing and asked with concern, "Shiqing, your injuries aren't serious, are they?"

Luo Shiqing put on the appearance of a pitiful little white lotus and said weakly, "I'm fine, Third Brother."

In reality, Luo Shiqing was very embarrassed right now.

Although she and Luo Xixi had both fallen down the stairs, she was afraid of pain, so she had the Heartthrob System deploy an air cushion for her. As a result, only a little skin was scraped off her forehead. Compared to the tragic sight of Luo Xixi, whose face was half-covered in blood, the contrast was too stark.

Now, she looked like someone who had faked a fall to extort others.

How annoying!

What made Luo Shiqing even more depressed was that she had wasted a bottle of Charm Water to max out Luo Xinian's hatred for Luo Xixi, but this had inadvertently caused Luo Xixi's Favorability Value in the hearts of the Luo parents to skyrocket.

Trying to steal a chicken only to end up losing the rice.

Luo Shiqing was nearly furious to death!

"Xinian, you only care about Shiqing. Isn't Xixi your sister? You pushed her down the stairs; have you apologized to your own sister yet?"

Bai Fengxia looked at her third son with dissatisfaction and reprimanded him.

Hearing this, Luo Xinian turned his head. He glanced at Luo Xixi, his mood incomparably complex. Deep down, he actually felt very guilty toward Luo Xixi, but the voice in his mind would not allow him to apologize to her, constantly telling him that he hated Luo Xixi and hated her to death.

He could not resist that voice and could only keep a dark face, saying stiffly, "Why should I apologize to her? Who told her not to explain? In that situation, anyone would think she pushed Shiqing. If you want to blame someone, blame her for not defending herself."

"You scoundrel!"

Luo Zhennian was furious. "You've done something wrong and you're still arguing? What exactly has Xixi done to you? You pushed her down the stairs and you're blaming Xixi for not defending herself? Is that even human language?"

"..."

Luo Xinian also felt that he was a scoundrel.

But he could not control his emotions. Malice continued to breed, and he argued back to his father, "It was Luo Xixi's fault to begin with! Originally, our family was doing fine, so why did she have to appear as this sister? Because of her appearance, how much sadness and pain must Shiqing have felt? You don't consider Shiqing's feelings at all. I just want Luo Xixi to die!!"

"Smack!"

Luo Zhennian slapped Luo Xinian across the face and roared in a rage, "Luo Xinian! Are you even human? You can actually say such beastly words!"

"Xinian, how can you say such things? You have disappointed your mother so much!"

Bai Fengxia also looked at Luo Xinian with shock and disappointment.

At this moment.

Luo Shiqing hurriedly stepped forward to play the good person. She blocked the way in front of Luo Xinian and said to Luo Zhennian with tears streaming down her face, "Dad, don't hit Third Brother. Blame me, it's all my fault. If you want to hit someone, hit me, don't hit Third Brother. If you really want to punish someone, punish me along with him!"

"Shiqing, you haven't done anything wrong, why would I punish you?"

Luo Zhennian's face darkened.

Luo Shiqing sobbed, "Sob, then Dad, don't punish Third Brother either, or else punish me too!"

"Shiqing..."

Seeing that the whole family was against him and only Shiqing was still standing on his side, Luo Xinian couldn't help but feel a trace of warmth in his heart.

As expected.

Having Shiqing was enough for him.

It didn't matter if his family didn't understand him.

As a result—

【Tsk tsk, the female lead's acting is truly superb. It almost made me soften my heart, but thinking about it carefully, it's still a bit fake. This looks like she's trying to smooth things over for Third Brother, but in reality, she's intensifying the conflict between Third Brother and Mom and Dad.】

【After all, I'm the one who got hurt, so Mom and Dad are definitely going to speak up for me. Now that the female lead is shielding Third Brother, Mom and Dad can't back down, and Third Brother is also at a stalemate. The relationship between them is bound to deteriorate. Clearly, if she had persuaded Third Brother to yield at this moment, the matter could have been settled, but she chose to stir the pot and escalate the conflict. Now it's great, the relationship between everyone is definitely even more strained.】

【But since she's a Cannon Fodder villain, she definitely wouldn't think of these things. Sigh, they're all just NPCs meant to highlight the female lead's halo. Hurry up and finish your scenes so you can be liberated early!】

??????

After hearing this series of Luo Xixi's inner thoughts, Luo Xinian's original sense of being moved shattered into pieces.

What was Luo Xixi saying?

Shiqing was clearly defending him, yet in her words, it had become sowing discord! And yet, he couldn't even refute it! Because if he thought about it carefully, that was indeed the truth!

Damn it!

Why would Shiqing sow discord? There was no reason!

Just as Luo Xinian was feeling puzzled.

Suddenly.

A cold and indifferent voice rang out from outside the door.

"Dad, Mom, what is all the noise and commotion about in the house?"

【Ding—Host, eldest brother Luo Xichuan has come online~】

The Baby System prompted immediately.

Oh?

Is the plot about stealing the necklace coming?

The plot is quite fast-paced.

Luo Xixi fixed her eyes on the doorway and saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes with handsome features walking in while carrying a gift bag...
